Overlooking the Bay of Gibraltar, Algeciras boasts lush city parks and the remnants of ancient fortresses. Stroll through the central square of Plaza Alta, and for sweeping coastal views, head to the beaches of Getares and El Rinconcillo or the rocky shores near Punta Carnero lighthouse. For a glimpse into bustling maritime life, visit the Mercado Ingeniero Torroja, showcasing local produce and Andalusian flavors, while nature lovers should head inland to Los Alcornocales Natural Park. Just across the bay from Algeciras, explore the wonders of the Rock of Gibraltar, including World War II military tunnels, St. Michael’s Cave and the famous macaque monkeys.
